An Eventof Pioneer Life.


The dangers which Boone and his COM
panions encountered upon the fields
came to the very doors of their cabins
and constantly menaced their families
Idians lurked singly or in parties to seize
a prisoner or take a scalp whenever an
incautious white should give the oppor-
tunity. Frequent combats tand each
combat ended, as rule, in the death OF
one or both Of those engaged had habit
uated the men to danger. II was later
that they felt the danger of their wives
and children.
Late on Sunday afternoon in July,
l776, three young girls yentured from the
enclosure of Boonesoorough to amuse
themselves with canoe upon the river
which flowed byt he fort Insensibly they
drifted with the lazy current, and before
they were aware of their danger were
seized by five warriors. Their resistance
was useless, though they Welded the
paddles with desperation. Their canoe
was drawn ashore, and they were hurried
off in rapid retreat toward the Shawnee
towns in Ohio. Their screams were heard
at the fort, and the cause well guessed.
Two of the girls were Besty and Frances,
daughters of Colonel Richard Galloway,
the other was Jemima, daughter of
Boone. The fathers were absent, but
soon returned 10 hear the evil news and
arrange the pursuit. Galloway assembled
a mounted party, and was away through
the woods 10 head off the Indians, if
possible. before they might reach and
cross the Ohio, or before the fatigue of
their rapid march should so overcome
the poor girls as TO cause their captors TO
tomahawk them, and SO disencunber
their flight. Boone started directly on
thetIail through thi ,kets and canebrakes.
His rule was never to ride if he could
possibly walk. All his journeys and
hunts, escapes and pursuits, were on foot
His little party numbered eight, and the
anxiety of fathers heart quickened
its leader, and found a ready response in
the breasts of three young men, the low
ers Of the girls.
Besty Galloway, the oldest of the girls,
marked the trail, as the Indians hurried
them along, by breaking twigs and bend
ing bushes, and when threatened with
the tomahawk ifshe PERSISTED, tore small
bits from her dress, and dropped them
to guide the pursurers. When the ground
was soft enough TO receive an impression
they would press footprint The flight
was in the best Indian method the In
dians marched some yards apart through
the bushes and cane, compelling their
captives TO do the same. When creek
was crossed they waded in its water 10
distant point, where the march would be
resumed BY all the caution and skill of
their training the Indians endeayoro to
obscure the trail and perplex the pursu-
ers.
The nightfall of the first day stopped

the pursuit of Boone before he had gone
far, but be had fixed the direction the
Indians were taking, and at early dawn
was following them. The chase was con-
tinued with ali the speed that could be
made for thirty miles. Again darkness
compelled halt, and again at carck OF
day on Tuesday the pursuit was renew
ed. II was not long before a light film OF
smoke that rose in the distance showed
where the Indians were cooking a break
fast Of buffalo meat The pursuers eau
tiously approached, fearing lest the In
dians might slay their captieyes and
escape. Colonel John Floyd, who was
one ofthe party himself afterward killed
by lndiansl thus described the attack and
the rescue, in a letter written the next
Sunday to the Lieutenant of Fincastle,
Colonel William Preston;
sOur study had been how TO get the
prisoners without giving the Indians
time to murder them after they discover
ed US. -Four of us fired, and all of us
rushed ON them BY which they We're
prevented from earring anything away
except one shotgun without any ammu-
milton. Colonel Boone and myself had
each pretty fair shot as they began to
move of. am well convinced ! shot
one through the body. The one he shot
dropped his gun; mine bad none. The
place was covered with thick cane and
being much elated on recovering the three
poor little heart-broken girls, we were
prevented from making any further
search. We sent the Indians off almost
naked. some without their moceasins,
ard none ofthem with SO oInuch as a knife
or tomahawk. After the girls came to
themselves sufficiently to speak, they told
Us there were five Indians, four Shawa-
nese and one Cherokee; they could speak
good English, and said they should go to
the shawanese towns The war-cub We
got was like those | have seen of that
nation, and several words of their langu-
age which the girlsretained, were known
- be Shawanese."
The return with the rescued girls was
the occasion for great rejoicing. Tocrown
their satisfaction, the young lovers had
proved their powers, and under the eye
Of the greatest of all woodsmen had
shown their skill and courage. They had
fairly won the girls they loved. Two
weeks later a general summons went
I throughout the little settlements TO at
1 tend the first wedding ever rsolemnized on
1 Kentucky soil. Samuel Henderson and
Besty Galloway were married in the pres
ence Of an approving company that cele-
I brlted the event with dancing and feast
ing. The formal license from the county
court was not waited for, as the court
house 0 ofFincastle, Of which county Ken
tucly wasa part, WAS distant more than
six hundred miles. The ceremony con-
sisted of the contrac, with witnesses, and
( religious vows administered by Boones
brother, who was an occasional preacher
OF the persuasion popularity known as
Hardshell Baptists Frances Galloway
became within year the wife Of the
gallant Captain John Holder, afterward
greatly distinguished daughter married
the son Of his friend Galloway.

A Sultan's Life.

been greatly astonished TO find them
selves accompanied together Prudent,
suspicious, fine diplomatist, not very
prodigal, moderately given to pleasures,
he is occupied personally with the affairs
oi state, and often summons his ministers
at the risk of disturbing their keif; he is
more prone to giving orders than listening
TO advice; and without ever leaving his
palace, where he is chained by fear, he
holds firmly in his hands the reins of
government
The excesses Of every kind, from which
the Sultans do not know how TO abstain
when they come 10 the throne, exhaust
them quickly, and make them prema-
turely old. Abdul Medjid added to in
Vulnerable vices an immoderate love of
champagne, and Rechid Pacha, his Grand
Vizir, was put to unhcard-of straits to find
him sober so as to speak 10 him in re-
gard 10 the affairs Of state, and to obtain
his signature. Abdul Aziz, whose fine
bearing, noble and energetic face, have
often admired, never drank anything
but water, aud-an unheard-of thing in
Turkey--he never smoked but he ate
six times a day His meals, it is said,
consisted of twenty dishes, into which
he thrust his finger several times He
always ate alone, loyal in this matter to
the Koran, which forbids any person
however great be may be. to sit at the
Califs table
Nevertheless, the Grand yizir Ali,
Pasha, the only man except Fuad Pasha
that ever had ascendencv over him, de-
monstrated to him one Gay the necessity
OF inviting the Empress Engenie and a
few Of the great personages Of her suite
to dine with him. The dinner was
spread The Empress was seated at the
right Of the Sultan, who exhibited some
astonishment Who allowed that wo-
man o. scai herself near me?' he asked
in Turkish, addressing Ali Pasha. The
latter, turning toward the Empress. trans
lated these words a. follows: Madame,
the Sultan, niy master. charged me to
express to your Majesty his great pleas
ure in receiving yen at his table" This
said, the Grand Nizir seated himself ON
the left of the Sultan, and told during
the dinner what he should do, how he
should use his fork, take his glass, and
Use his plate, all of which did not pre-
vent poor Ali Pasha from being in hot
water dnring this unhappy dinner.
